A landmark in contemporary Spanish literature, Agustin Fernandez Mallo's Nocilla Trilogy-Nocilla Dream, Nocilla Lab, and Nocilla Experience-presents multiple narratives of people and places that reflect America and the world in the digital age of the twenty-first century. In the middle of the Nevada desert stands a solitary poplar tree covered in hundreds of pairs of shoes. Farther along Route 50, a lonely prostitute falls in love with a collector of found photographs. In Las Vegas, an Argentine man builds a peculiar monument to Jorge Luis Borges. On the run from the authorities, Kenny takes up permanent residence in the legal non-place of Singapore International Airport, while the novelists Enrique Vila-Matas and Agustn Fernndez Mallo encounter each other on an oil rig. These are just a few of the narrative strands that make up Fernndez Mallo's Nocilla Trilogy-Nocilla Dream, Nocilla Experience, and Nocilla Lab. Greeted as a landmark in contemporary Spanish literature, the entire trilogy has not been available in English until now. No library descriptions found. |

"I think ruins become ruins due to their great symbolic potential before they become ruins, while still inhabited, still standing, their symbolic potential, I mean, is so intense that it forces their abandonment lest the people inhabiting be destroyed by excess, by an excess of life, and this abandonment precedes the shift into dreams" ( )
